"The official family does not regard the daughter of a family like ours as the principal concubine, but they are worried about having too much influence on the government affairs. But Wenyao is about to be conferred to India, thousands of miles away from the capital, how can he affect the government affairs? Naturally, there is no need to worry.
"If you don't worry about affecting the government, you can naturally make Junyue the royal concubine." Chang Sheng said. Although he was not summoned by Yunxi, it is impossible for him to not know about such a big matter. In fact, Lanzhen made Yunxi his wife after she left the palace.
Xi's true purpose was told to him, and Li Jinglong told Xu Yingxu. Of course, he would also tell his younger brother Chang Sen and his eldest son Chang Jizong.
"We are going to be sent to India! No wonder!" Chang Sen was surprised, but he also understood the reason for doing so. "And although it is said that the Indian soldiers have very low combat effectiveness, there are always some elites, and India is a vast land and rich in resources.
If the commander of the army cannot control the troops under his control, it will not be easy to conquer India. The generals sent are just that, and they will definitely be able to subdue the soldiers, but a newly crowned vassal king like Wenyao may not be able to. But if
If Junyue marries him, the generals who are good friends with our family will obey his orders, and it will be much easier to command the soldiers. Yunxi's good plan." Chang Sen said with a sneer. War is different from other things, if you are not famous, so
The officers and soldiers may be worried that the army will be defeated and they will die in battle due to your wrong command, so they may distort or even refuse to carry out the orders. It is impossible for the officers and soldiers to obey orders simply because of their high status.
"Don't sneer. It's human nature for officials to think like this, and it's also good for our family. You should also understand the principle of a cunning rabbit's three burrows. The Xu family started making arrangements overseas six years ago, and Pai Zengshou worked in Su Fan.
The left prime minister also sent two of his juniors to practice. Now our family can also arrange overseas arrangements, which is a good thing." Chang Sheng said.
"And even if others can't hear you, don't call the official by his first name. That's enough, Wen Yao." He warned again.
"I also know that this is a good thing, but I still feel uncomfortable in my heart." Chang Sen said, returning to a normal tone and continued: "In addition to our family, the Lan family, Li family and other people will also use this to make arrangements in India.
.However, none of their families have any daughters to marry into the unconsecrated clan, and except for Wenyao, there are no princes of marriageable age, so it is not easy to make arrangements."
"It is not necessary to have in-laws, but it is more laborious to arrange without in-laws. But India is the last rich land around the Ming Dynasty. If we don't make arrangements in India, how can we let our children and grandchildren go to Hanzhou?" Chang Sheng said.
"I think Hanzhou is good, and officials also value Hanzhou. Maybe the descendants of those who go to Hanzhou will have the best life in the future." Chang Sen said with a smile.
Chang Sheng also laughed a few times and said: "Okay, stop joking and get down to business. It will take the imperial court and the Nanyang vassal state about half a year to prepare for the war with Bangladesh. Including the time for transporting grain, soldiers, ammunition, etc.,
The war with Bangladesh will begin around November. The government has arranged for Wen Yao to get married around September, and it would be a good time to go to India to command troops for the war in November."
"Everyone knows that our brothers cannot fight, so there is no need to occupy the position of a deputy general; but Ji Zong must go. After the Battle of Annan and several battles to annihilate the rebels in the southwest, he now has the skills to fight well.
His reputation is better than that of the two of us. If he and I each command an army, the soldiers assigned to him will obey orders more."
Chang Sheng didn't look unhappy at all when he said this, he was always cheerful. If his sister hadn't married Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao, and the current emperor was his nephew, their family would probably have merged with the Deng family and Xinguo family.
The Gongtang family also gradually declined.
Of course, their family would be better than these two. The Deng family and the Tang family were so unlucky: Deng Yu died ten years after Hongwu, and his son Deng Zhen’s daughter was Li Shanchang’s granddaughter. She was implicated and killed, and her hereditary title was lost.
Tang He died late, in the 28th year of Hongwu, but his eldest son and youngest son both died in the war and died earlier than him. This is fine, but Tang He's eldest son Tang Ding's eldest son Tang Sheng, Tang Sheng
The eldest son Tang Wenyu died young, leaving the Tang family without an adult head for a long time. Even if they still had titles in name, what was the use? Decline was inevitable.
But even with Yunxi's support, if their family has been unable to produce talents, it will decline sooner or later. Fortunately, Ji Zongzheng, although it is not as good as having more soldiers, he can at least have 100,000 soldiers. Yunxi is also willing to use him
, our Chang family can finally continue for at least one generation.'
"I have also met Wen Yao. He is young and vigorous, and he has at least ten thousand soldiers under his command. He will definitely not be willing to be commanded by others. Although Junyue is the daughter of Ji Zong, Ji Zong is his elder, Fang
It's not good to be on top of him. He can probably only be led by a deputy general with outstanding merits. I'm thinking of letting Ji Zong command 20,000 to 30,000 people as generals, and Wen Yao will lead the troops separately." Chang Sheng continued.
.Although he will not go to India, he still has the ability to influence the generals' arrangements, let alone the arrangements for his own son. Even if he goes to talk to Yunxi directly, Yunxi will agree.
"The eldest son of Ji Zong will stay in the capital to inherit the title in the future. The second son can be taken to Bangladesh by Ji Zong. Firstly, he will gain experience, and secondly, he will stay in Bangladesh and take root in Bangladesh in the future. In addition to Ji Zong's son, Ji Zong's brothers will also have to spend some time with him.
Get out alone. A good-for-nothing like Ji Yao should stay in the capital. In the capital, we still have the control to prevent him from doing anything wrong. In Bangladesh, no one can control him. If he commits a crime and makes Wen Yao disgusted, it is not good; send someone with a little ability.
"Chang Sheng continued.
Chang Sen listened quietly without saying a word. After coming over for a while, Chang Sheng finished speaking, and then he said: "Does Jifeng want to go to India to accumulate qualifications?" Chang Jifeng is the child left by Chang Mao. After many twists and turns, he was found by Chang Sheng.
When he came back, he was twenty-two years old and had a hereditary position as a commander. But he preferred to study and wanted to take the civil service route. After passing the scholar examination five years ago, he entered the Imperial College to study. He just graduated at the end of last year.
Chang Sheng pondered for a while and said: "Forget it, don't arrange for him to go to India among the first batch. It's okay for our family to have a little food. It's not good to have too much food. Besides, he has just graduated and has not yet been an official.
, it may not be a good thing for him to rush to India."
"That's fine." Chang Sen agreed, stretched his waist and said, "Second brother, do you have other things to do? If not, I will go back and think about which few capable people will be sent to India for training."
"Our family matter is out of the question; but there is another matter that is also related to our family. I want to discuss it with you."
"What's the matter?"
"Yes, that's all. The two of us are going to go have a drink with Lan Zhen and discuss it with him. Lan Zhen probably doesn't know about this yet."
"Second brother," Chang Sen asked strangely: "This matter must have been passed on by the eunuch ordered by the official family just now. If no one is sent to tell Lan Zhen, then the official family may not be willing to let him know."
"This is usually the case, but this time things are different. And this time things are considered a good thing." Chang Sheng smiled and said: "Let's go." As he said that, he stood up.
"Then let me listen to what is a good thing, brother, with Lan Zhen." Chang Sen also stood up, agreed with a smile, and left the mansion with him. (To be continued)
